"Art takes birth from your own concept, not everyone needs to follow others"


Who We Are

Individually...  We are unique, We are original, We are creative
Together...       We are powerful, We are united, We are outstanding

Our Belief

We believe that art is a profound expression of an individual's inner world-shaped by inspiration from nature and driven by the urge to create spontaneously. It is the liberation of the inner self, a journey toward fulfilment and bliss. When the creative expressions of individual artists come together, they form a visual symphony-a collective harmony that resonates deeply, creating a sublime effect. Even the silent pauses in this artistic symphony speak louder than words, carrying emotions and meanings that transcend language.

The Meaning of "DE NOVO"

DE NOVO is a Latin phrase meaning "from the new" or "starting fresh."Derived from two Latin roots-dē ("from") and novō ("new")-the phrase has been in English usage since the early 17th century. Today, it is widely used in legal, scientific, and academic contexts to represent a fresh start, a beginning built without preconceptions.

At its core, De Novo symbolizes:
  • New beginnings
  • Fresh ideas
  • Creative thinking

These values are the driving force behind everything we do.
